Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1257 - 1307: Acquiring Happy Zen

Li Yifei waited for the guy to finish writing, then took the paper, glanced at it, and placed it on the table before pressing the playback button.

"You better not try any tricks. I’m going to grab another person now. If what he writes differs from yours, you’re dead."

The man’s face turned pale, and he frantically waved his hands. Li Yifei snorted, then handed him the pen and paper again.

This time, the man behaved much more honestly, sitting down and writing properly. After finishing, he gestured repeatedly, seemingly swearing that this time it was entirely genuine.

Even so, Li Yifei didn’t fully trust him. Techniques like this were nothing like ordinary things; any mistake could easily harm someone. So, he knocked the guy unconscious and, with Jiang Ningxiang, grabbed another person.

That person reacted almost the same as the first: resisting at first, then giving in. By this time, Li Yifei had also woken up the first guy.

"I already have one version, written by him. If the two of you write differently, then someone’s lying. At that point, one of you can write it again. If it still doesn’t match, I’ll have no choice but to kill you both."

The first man gave a bitter smile and nodded toward the second man. The second man, having just endured that worse-than-death feeling, understood that the first man wouldn’t dare to lie. Li Yifei conducted himself so meticulously that he left absolutely no room for tricks.

Li Yifei finally obtained two identical copies, which satisfied him. However, all of it was in Nepali, a language he didn’t understand. He immediately took a photo and sent it to his home, where Su Mengxin and the others had already prepared. They found a few people who could read Nepali, assigned each a small section, and ensured no one could see the entire text.

About an hour later, the complete translation was sent back to Li Yifei. While the regular words were understandable, some of the technical terms were clearly beyond the translators’ grasp.

Li Yifei returned to the two men, pointing at uncertain acupoints and similar items in the text, asking for clarification or observing their True Qi circulation methods.

Although the Tibetan Secret School’s cultivation differed from his, they also harnessed True Qi—it was just that their methods varied. So, in essence, there were many similarities, allowing Li Yifei to grasp it easily.

Even so, Li Yifei didn’t dare to be careless. Every time, he asked the two to demonstrate separately, ensuring they couldn’t see each other. This way, neither dared to tamper with the technique.

After more than two hours, Li Yifei finally figured everything out and decided to release the two without further trouble.

Jiang Ningxiang stepped forward, somewhat worried, and said, "Brother Li, just letting them go—won’t they bring people back here?"

Li Yifei smiled faintly and replied confidently, "They wouldn’t dare. If they make this public, it would be considered betrayal. They’re bound by secrecy, or they’ll face severe punishment from their superiors and lose everything."

"Oh, that makes sense." Jiang Ningxiang nodded as she thought it through.

Li Yifei examined the Happy Zen technique he had obtained carefully. Jiang Ningxiang also leaned in to look, but after a few glances, her face turned completely red as she muttered, "This is so indecent..."

Li Yifei chuckled. "Indecent as it may be, it’s crucial for us. Our Dual Cultivation depends on this."

Jiang Ningxiang lightly slapped Li Yifei, her face even redder as she pouted, "Can we even trust this?"

"I’m not sure yet. I’ll consult Elder Murong Yuanqing."

"Elder Murong Yuanqing?" Jiang Ningxiang asked curiously.

"Yes, a highly skilled senior. Haven’t I mentioned him to you before?"

"No, who is he?" Jiang Ningxiang looked at Li Yifei in surprise.

"He’s a master far beyond me. Compared to him, I’m like a child facing an adult."

Jiang Ningxiang’s expression changed as Li Yifei asked in confusion, "What’s wrong?"

Jiang Ningxiang quickly said, "There’s actually someone so formidable? I always thought you were the best."

"Of course not. Even within Noah’s Ark, there are a few people much stronger than me. That’s why I need to become stronger, research Dual Cultivation techniques, and master Innate Vital Energy."

"Oh..."

Li Yifei then dialed Elder Murong Yuanqing’s number. The elder answered quickly, and Li Yifei immediately said, "Elder Murong, my apologies for disturbing you so late."

"Haha, it’s fine. Is there something important?" Elder Murong asked with a laugh.

"Yes. I’ve acquired a Happy Zen technique but am unsure of its applicability."

"Send it to me to take a look. Haha, my phone can receive it."

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile. Elder Murong, despite his age, wasn’t at all outdated—a rare quality. He quickly sent the file using his phone.

Half an hour later, Elder Murong called back, and Li Yifei felt a twinge of nervousness.

"Yifei, I think this is only part of the method. This seems to be about absorbing Yin and replenishing Yang, which might also grant Innate Vital Energy. However, its reliability isn’t high due to its one-sidedness. The female practitioner would be entirely passive, causing resistance from Innate Vital Energy. Moreover, it would greatly harm the woman. It’s best to find the other part for the optimal outcome."

Li Yifei was startled. Thankfully, he hadn’t impulsively tested it with Jiang Ningxiang. He quickly asked, "Is there somewhere I can find the missing part?"

"You could investigate further within the Tibetan Secret School. Techniques like this are usually complete, but since their sect is male-dominated, they likely haven’t practiced the female counterpart or perhaps have forgotten it over time."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll investigate there. Elder Murong, if they don’t have it, are there other ways?"

Elder Murong replied, "That, I’m not sure about. I’ve heard of a Clean Sound Sect in the past, composed entirely of women. Their sect was known for its promiscuity, with female disciples specializing in Absorb Yang and Replenish Yin techniques. However, I haven’t heard of them for years. They seem to have vanished. You might find leads if you investigate further."

Li Yifei felt hopeful upon hearing this. He responded eagerly, "As long as there are clues, I won’t stop searching."

"Hmm. While I understand Dual Cultivation’s significance to you, martial artists often take different paths to the same goal. Evil thoughts will always hinder your progress. A true martial artist carries righteousness. I hope you understand."

Though Elder Murong couldn’t see him, Li Yifei firmly nodded and solemnly replied, "I’ll heed your guidance, Elder Murong. I won’t act recklessly."

"Good. I won’t say more. Contact me again if you have further questions."

After ending the call, Li Yifei turned to Jiang Ningxiang, who appeared dazed, her gaze distant.

"What’s wrong?" Li Yifei grasped her hand gently.

Jiang Ningxiang shuddered slightly and said, "Brother Li, are you... planning to Dual Cultivate with me?"

Li Yifei shook his head. "It’s not the right time yet."

"Huh? Why not? Is this method incorrect?"

"It’s not incorrect, just incomplete. Practicing it as is would harm your body."

"It’s fine, I’m not afraid!" Despite her flushed cheeks, Jiang Ningxiang stood firmly and said, "As long as it makes Brother Li stronger, I don’t mind what happens to me."

"Silly girl. Once we find the female counterpart, we can truly Dual Cultivate without anyone getting hurt and even benefit each other. That’s the ideal way. According to Elder Murong, the Tibetan Secret School likely holds the method for women somewhere—they just haven’t used it or know where it’s kept."

"Oh, then let’s go find it." Jiang Ningxiang seemed impatient.

"Silly girl, so eager to Dual Cultivate with me?" Li Yifei teased.

Jiang Ningxiang immediately flushed deeper, stomping her feet in embarrassment. "I-I’m not! I’m just worried about you!"

"Alright, alright, I’m the one who’s anxious. With such a sweet Little Ningxiang in my arms these days, unable to truly have her, it’s been unbearable."

"Then you can keep feeling miserable." Jiang Ningxiang wrinkled her nose at him, her small face growing even redder. Lately, she had felt his hardness pressing against her in the mornings—it was so firm, so evident. Yet her expression showed a mix of emotions invisible to Li Yifei since her face was buried in his chest.

"Alright, let’s rest." Li Yifei stroked her hair gently.

"Aren’t we going tonight?"

"To find something like this, we need someone from within their ranks. Randomly searching blindly won’t yield results anytime soon."

Jiang Ningxiang blinked her wide, watery eyes in confusion, asking, "Someone from inside? But we don’t know anyone in their inner circle, do we?"

"Who said we don’t? Didn’t we meet two of them tonight?"

"Them... They probably hate us now."

Li Yifei chuckled, his confidence evident. "Even if they hate me, they won’t dare refuse my requests. That’s human nature—once you have something, you’re afraid of losing it. To protect their current status, they’ll have no choice but to agree."

Jiang Ningxiang stuck out her tongue. "Brother Li, you really know how to push people around. Those two will probably cry when they see you tomorrow."
